Hello, I'm just starting with audio on Linux and have gotten stuck - I can't seem to record anything from the mic or line-in. ALSA and jack seem to be setup right (with a SB Live! Value) - I get output from XMMS with jack plugin, and I can hear the microphone and/or line-in input directly thru the speakers (I turned "Line" and "Mic" up in alsamixer). However, I can't get anything to record. I've been trying to record from mic and/or line-in using Ardour with no luck. Considering I might not be using Ardour correctly, I moved to something simpler - qaRecord. I start it with "qarecord --jack", but can never get anything to record and I never see anything on the level monitors, even though I can hear the inputs directly (do I need something in the --device option?) qjackctl connections window shows alsa_pcm->capture_1 and capture_2, which are connected to things in Ardour, but not qaRecord. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Ken
